Why I Write

Location

Ever had a night terror that festers your mind, captivates your thoughts and completely blows your mind? 

I write to relinquish these dreams. 

As a slave to suffering, pain and sorrow,

I write to forget, until tomorrow. 

As the pen strikes the paper carving the feelings of yesterday. 

I write to say:

     Frustration swallows the voice that says " You Got This!"

     Anger kills the smile that sparkles despite an overbite,

     And depression compromises the posture that displays self-confidence.
